Wave priority if match-up poke, otherwise short freeze and clean back on composites.
Vladimir becomes easier to punish when early weak and item-dependent. From the opposite side, the page also highlights this answer: Warder deeply to cut its resets after push.
Level 5 gives Vladimir his first real team threat. Hemoplague is not only used to finish a target: it forces opponents to respect mid-river clustering and turns an average skirmish into a delayed burst window.
This threshold turns Vladimir into a complete teamfight threat: he can slow, stay in the zone, amplify damage with ultimate, and force enemies to break a formation that wanted to play grouped.
With an active enchant, Vladimir gains real execution margin. Protobelt helps him find the entry angle, while Stasis lets him survive after placing Hemoplague in the middle of the fight.
Farm safe, short trades around the empowered Q; never stretch without vision.
Two-item spike: look for 5v5s around objectives with R first.
Front-to-back patient: R early, Stasis on burst, then chase with E/Q.
Wave priority if match-up poke, otherwise short freeze and clean back on composites.
Anticipated groups; roam only if wave is pushed and R is available.
Centrally positioned behind your frontline; aim for 2-3 targets with R.
Accept frequent resets; don't lose HP unnecessarily on E.
Split if safe, otherwise 5v5 where your R makes the difference.
three-point Hemoplague = greatly amplified fights.
Utiliser le 1 empowered pour heal et dégâts, plonger dans le Pool (2) pour l'invincibilité et esquiver la riposte, remonter et re-1
Ult pour le debuff +10% dégâts sur les cibles, 3 pour le burst AoE, Flash pour combler le gap si nécessaire, 1 empowered pour le heal et dégâts, Pool pour survivre
Charger les stacks via farming, burst avec le 3, Pool pour l'esquive, 1 empowered pour finir
